The remote Fedora 40 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2024-1d0cb3b43f advisory.
This is the sixth maintenance release of Python 3.12 ====================================================
Python 3.12 is the newest major release of the Python programming language, and it contains many new features and optimizations. 3.12.6 is the latest maintenance release, containing about 90 bugfixes, build improvements and documentation changes since 3.12.5. This is an expedited release to address the following security issues:
- [gh-123067](https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/123067): Fix quadratic complexity in parsing ``-quoted cookie values with backslashes by [`http.cookies`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/http.cookies.html#module-http.cookies). Fixes CVE-2024-7592.
- [gh-121285](https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/121285): Remove backtracking from tarfile header parsing for `hdrcharset`, PAX, and GNU sparse headers. That's CVE-2024-6232.
- [gh-102988](https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/102988): [`email.utils.getaddresses()`](https://d ocs.python.org/3/library/email.utils.html#email.utils.getaddresses) and [`email.utils.parseaddr()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/email.utils.html#email.utils.parseaddr) now return `('', '')` 2-tuples in more situations where invalid email addresses are encountered instead of potentially inaccurate values. Add optional *strict* parameter to these two functions: use `strict=False` to get the old behavior, accept malformed inputs. `getattr(email.utils, 'supports_strict_parsing', False)` can be use to check if the *strict* paramater is available. This improves the CVE-2023-27043 fix.
- [gh-123270](https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/123270): Sanitize names in [`zipfile.Path`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/zipfile.html#zipfile.Path) to avoid infinite loops ([gh-122905](https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/122905)) without breaking contents using legitimate characters. That's CVE-2024-8088.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
